GT Roadbike

1998 GT Force road bike, 52cm c-c

RSX gearage throughout, 7 speed ass end, double front, though the shifter on the combined brake winnit will run a triple. Needs a new stem, either 1" quill or 1 1/8" ahead for the adapter that I can include. the current stem is a 25.4 so isn't useable, was just using it for trying to get the position right for me, frame is really too small though.

Anyone?

just call me Emily Howard ;-)

Not really sure what its worth to be honest, and I cant exactly remember what I paid for it, wasn an ebay jobby from quite a while ago that has gathered dust (visible in the pics, and free to the new owner!)

emily, they will lock the post if you don't put a price. price it high and then see what happens is my advice to you .

I'm 5'11" and inseam is 31", to make it fit I needed a 120mm stem raised about 2 cm, then it felt ok to me, but I'm really used to MTB's. Most bikes I looked at for my size seemed to have a TT around 58cm, which makes sense as I added 4cm to the factory 80cm that came on it so it felt ok. With the seat a bit lower and needing less reach it might be ok, no expert though obviously.

Thanks for the price advice, I think I paid £130 or so on ebay, so lets start there as a ONO.

I've got a 30" inside leg and a 50-52cm frame is fine for me. I could ride a larger frame (53) but the reach usually gets bad - I'm all legs and no body. As you are taller than me you should find the reach fine.
